Jenny Mars Shares her Valentine’s Day Tradition of Encouragement
By Movieguide® Contributor
In an Instagram post from Valentine’s Day, Jenny Marrs shared a family tradition that allows them to uplift each other.
“My favorite Valentine’s Day tradition is beautiful in its simplicity. I set out jars and little slips of paper and we write down our favorite attributes about one another. After dinner, we sit around the table and take turns reading the words of love and affirmation aloud,” Marrs wrote.
“Words breathe life,” Marrs continued, “It’s often uncomfortable to sit and listen to words of life spoken over you but the words are necessary and so very good.”
“After dinner, we sit around the table and take turns reading the words of love and affirmation aloud. Tears sometimes fall, laughter always erupts, and shy smiles and joyfully flushed cheeks are guaranteed,” Marrs shared.
Marrs spoke about the importance of telling the next generation how “deeply cherished” they are.
“They are loved,” their lives are “vitally important,” “the small things really are the big things,” “their identity rests in the words spoken around the table by their people; not in what the media or social media or so-called friends say about who they are,” and “the light always, always breaks through the darkness.”
Marrs concluded, “this broken world of ours desperately needs [our kids] very unique, wonderfully created, brilliantly bright light to shine.”
